Multiple scenes open as tabs in timeline panel
Make the timeline panel behave as it does in After Effects and allow multiple scenes to be open and available at once.
Of course, you'd need to improve CA's woeful copy and paste functionality to make moving between scenes actually worthwhile.1 vote -
Add editing sticky notes to scenes
I'd like to be able to use some kind of notes system, like sticky notes, on the parts of scenes that need editing, and to also see all these notes compiled in a sidebar of the scene.

Smaller icons, half-grid snap in control panel and more...
It would be nice if there were a size slider for icons in the control panel. Or at least three size options in the context menu.
I use a midi keyboard, so it would also be nice if icons could snap to a half grid space so it would be a little easier to lay things out like a keyboard.
Also, it would be nice if icons in the control panel would take the same color as the labels in the triggers panel. Or at least be able to assign colors to icons individually or in groups.
Also, it would…

Please add a visible (grey) stopwatch to parameters that can be keyframed
Like in After Effects I think it would be beneficial to see at once which parameters can be animated via keyframes with grey stop watch icons that are visible all the time and not only with mouse over.
As Dave says in the tutorial video for key framing it is a bit of a “trial and error thing” – you want to make it easier for users as character animation is a lot of work already. Thanks!

Puppets and Scenes in Project Window
I hope if the puppets were sorted with each other and the scenes were sorted with each other and not combined the puppets and scenes.

For the love of the deity of your choice, PLEASE point me to a basic explanation of how to use the Nutcracker Jaw behavior.
The link to the Nutcracker Jaw behavior tutorial (https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-character-animator/using/behavior.html#Nutcracker) (and all other subtutorials on the Behaviors page) is broken (circular link back to this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-character-animator/user-guide.html/adobe-character-animator/using/welcome.ug.html). In general, please create a good-old User Manual that explains each and every Behavior, in writing, as a reference point. Ch is an awesome product, and Dave Werner's tutorial videos are stellar. If I'm missing the obvious, where's a link to such a User Guide? Thanks.

Improving user interface
The user interface color desperately needs to have the flexibility to change like in other Adobe programs. The black background is way too dark!

No (obvious) way to remove trigger from a layer
Repro steps:
- Think like a user/newbie.
- Create a new project and import Blank.
- Go into rig mode.
- Add a trigger to any body part.
- Add a behaviour to that same part.
- Right-click the lego/gear icon for that body part.
- Notice that there's a 'remove all behaviours' option in the context menu.
- Right-click the trigger icon for the same body part.
Notice that there's no corresponding way to remove all triggers from that body part exposed in the menu.
In addition to creating a bit of an asymmetry between one part of the user experience and another, it looks as if…

The ability to invert the mask and choose would be huge.
Ive seen others mention something like this before but it would be huge to be able to invert the clipping mask. Every other adobe program has this ability so Im guessing this is an issue to be fixed more than a feature request. The work arounds necessary because this doesnt exist are so time consuming, if they work at all.
Thank you3 votes -
It would be very helpful if we could enter into groups to edit elements within.
Currently, if I want to edit a single element within a group I have to ungroup everything, edit the parameter, then regroup everything. It all happens within the layout control view so it gets very messy. My grouped content can have 30 parameters so finding each element that I want to then regroup is tedious among all the other controls that dont get grouped. Then, once I regroup it, I need to rename the new group each time again.
The ability to simply enter into the group, edit what I want and exit the group would be far superior.1 vote -

Load my own example puppets
I would like to be able to see all of the puppet files I have created and/or downloaded to show up in the EXAMPLE PUPPETS section (maybe add a new tab for this). Is that possible? If not, can this feature be added?
It would be nice to be able to see an image of each puppet I have on file so that it would be easier when choosing one to use (instead of having to remember what they look like).

Visual indication when latch mode trigger is active
In Character Animator (v3.4), it is sometimes difficult to tell which latch-mode triggers are active.
This makes it hard to get the puppet back into its default mode, especially when multiple latch triggers are active simultaneously.
It would be very useful if activated latch triggers in the Trigger Panel could visually indicate their state (by changing color for instance).
In addition, currently buttons in the Controls Panel flash briefly when clicked. For latch triggers, it would make sense for them to remain highlighted (or some other visual indication, like a highlighted border) for the entire time the trigger is active.

Expand all / Close All nodes in panel tree views (esp. Project and Puppet Panels)
In Panels such as the Project Panel and Puppet Panel, Character Animator organizes information via "tree" structure.
It allows a user to drill into detailed information by clicking the expand icon (right arrow while closed) or to hide the detailed information by clicking the same icon again (down arrow while open).
However, these operations only work on a single node in the tree, so it can be time consuming to achieve the desired view.
It would be useful to support a "Collapse All" command, perhaps via a right-click content menu. This would close all selected nodes, but also close all…

In Puppet Panel, show which layers have Tags
Character Animator currently has icon columns in the Puppet Panel that show if a layer has Handles, Behaviours or Triggers associated.
I would also like to see if a layer has Tags associated. I would suggest adding a fourth column to the Puppet Panel.
If the number of columns is a concern, you could give the user the ability to hide / show columns.
